D
sparrow and wolf lay as still as
the blades of the grass
    Bm                       G
like worn leather boots, of colour
                     D
and size that would last

Caught them a lark in a trap,
and each held a wing
Then they tore it apart, before
that small bird could sing

D
confused by the wind, bruised by
the size of the rain
    Bm               G
she turned in to him,
                           D
begged for the light to remain
D
but plans have been made, all the furniture sold
    Bm                G
so store up your hate,
                         D
use it for warmth when you're cold

Chorus:
            G
for I have seen no joy, only danger,
    D
I see no joy, only strangers,
   A                              G
I see no joy, see no joy in this world
G
should you, choose to go, please be careful of,
D
lonesome roads, men who travel them,
 A                                    G
will not know, will not know of your ways

Still I have, seen no joy, only dangers
I seen no joy, only strangers
I seen no joy, seen no joy in this world
You should choose to go, please be faithful of
What you learned, from that little bird
Always dear, always dear to my heart
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
